An Olympic high diver has gravitational potential energy because of her height. As she dives, kinetic energy becomes of her energy just before she hits the water.

Gravitational potential energy is the energy possessed or acquired by an object due to a change in its position when it is present in a gravitational field. In simple terms, it can be said that gravitational potential energy is an energy that is related to gravitational force or to gravity.

Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, observable as the movement of an object, particle, or set of particles.

When the high diver is standing stable and not moving , that diver has a gravitational potential energy because of the height . The moment she dives , before hitting the water , from being stationary she gained some momentum and come in motion , due to motion her gravitational potential energy will change to kinetic energy before hitting the ground.

The driver of a car traveling at 30.5 m/s slams on the brakes so that the car undergoes a constant acceleration, skidding to a c
dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

-6.8 m/s²

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 30.5 m/s

v = 0 m/s

t = 4.5 s

Find: a

a = (v − v₀) / t

a = (0 m/s − 30.5 m/s) / 4.5 s

a = -6.8 m/s²

How light is channelled down an optical fibre
coldgirl [10]

Explanation:

Suppose you want to shine a flashlight beam down a long, straight hallway. Just point the beam straight down the hallway -- light travels in straight lines, so it is no problem. What if the hallway has a bend in it? You could place a mirror at the bend to reflect the light beam around the corner. What if the hallway is very winding with multiple bends? You might line the walls with mirrors and angle the beam so that it bounces from side-to-side all along the hallway. This is exactly what happens in an optical fiber.

The light in a fiber-optic cable travels through the core (hallway) by constantly bouncing from the cladding (mirror-lined walls), a principle called total internal reflection. Because the cladding does not absorb any light from the core, the light wave can travel great distances.

However, some of the light signal degrades within the fiber, mostly due to impurities in the glass. The extent that the signal degrades depends on the purity of the glass and the wavelength of the transmitted light (for example, 850 nm = 60 to 75 percent/km; 1,300 nm = 50 to 60 percent/km; 1,550 nm is greater than 50 percent/km). Some premium optical fibers show much less signal degradation -- less than 10 percent/km at 1,550 nm.

a 90 kg architect is standing 2 meters from the center of a scaffold help up by a rope on both sides. the scaffold is 6m long an
Mademuasel [1]
We can solve the problem by requiring the equilibrium of the forces and the equilibrium of torques.

1) Equilibrium of forces:
T_1 - W_p - W_s + T_2 =0
where
W_p = (90kg)(9.81 m/s^2)=883 N is the weight of the person
W_s = (200kg)(9.81 m/s^2)=1962 N is the weight of the scaffold
Re-arranging, we can write the equation as
T_1 = 2845 N-T_2 (1)

2) Equilibrium of torques:
T_1 \cdot 3 m - W_p \cdot 2 m - T_2 \cdot 3m =0
where 3 m and 2 m are the distances of the forces from the center of mass of the scaffold.
Using W_p = 883 N and replacing T1 with (1), we find
2845 N \cdot 3 m - T_2 \cdot 3 m - 833 N \cdot 2 m - T_2 \cdot 3 m=0
from which we find
T_2 = 1128 N

And then, substituting T2 into (1), we find
T_1 = 1717 N

A student pushes on a crate with a force of 100 Newtons directed to the right.
romanna [79]

Answer:

100N

Explanation:

Newton's third law of motion

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Therefore 100N of force is exerted by the crate on student as a reaction to his action
